2023 Conway Pinot Noir, Goodchild Vineyard, Santa Maria Valley

The Pinot Noir grapes for our sixth vintage of Conway Pinot Noir are sourced from the acclaimed Santa Maria Valley Goodchild Vineyard. In keeping with previous vintages, this wine is fermented on the skins. Visually, the 2023 shows a vibrant ruby red color in the glass. The coloration is indicative of the rich red fruit flavors imparted by the skins of the grapes. Barrel aged for 10 months in 30% new French Oak,  and 70% neutral French Oak, this wine is recommended to be enjoyed on its own, or with light fare.

Classic fruit aromas such as ripe red berries, cherry, vanilla and spice are followed by silky smooth tannins, bright strawberry fruit flavors, cherry and cranberry notes. The influence of the new French Oak adds a touch of vanilla and enhances the wine's complexity. The 2023 Conway Pinot Noir a favorite among our Pinot Noir offerings. The special label signifies its quality, and it stands out as one of the best bottles in our portfolio of wines.
